exhibited by the wives and ohildron. Ib
has been a hard year for the different
families and no person in town bat is
gInd to sea the head of the Homos return.
On their release each was given a suit
of clothes throughout, a railway tioicet
home and some money. It is to be
hoped that no one will be so unwise as
to bring np again the romembranes of
this sad afair, by so doing adding to the
bitterness which the past year has
brought them. We feel confident that
the lives of those four mon shall have an
entire reverse for the better and we hope
to see them prove to the world that a
change Ilse taken piece. The people in

will need work and if it is in your way to

ant factor:' -.Lha 0oncerb given by the
teachers and pupils of the Publio School
in the town hall on Thursday night last,
was a grand sueoees,and must have been
very gratifying to the principal, T, G.
McDonald, and hia able staff of teaobera.
Long before the hour of starting the hall
was packed with a most interesting
audience, nonny of the parents of the
children who tools part being present.

curtain went up when the sweet music of
the orehoatra pealed forth to the delight
of all present. The chairman's address
being the first on the program was made
short and to the point. Ile first thanked
the large audionoe for their presence ab
this the first oonoort given ander the new
principal, and abated that as the children
werepreparad to give them a ram treat, and
that the program was along one, he would
defer making a events until some other
time. Ole then announced the first item
on the program a (bourns, British Toast,

nine British enthusiasm. J. DSoMnrehie

tory of the Queen and the rise and ex-
pansion of the British Empire during the
past sixty years. 17e also referred to the
rapid advances made in the way of
ednoation and predicted a still further
advancement in that Hue in Canada. He
took his seat amidst groat applause.
Much credit ie due to the principal for
the very excellent-eeleutiou of choruses,
etc. Miss Livingstone had charge of the
"Little Skaking Quakers" and must have
spent a great deal of time in bringing so
many little ones to such a state of per.
tootion in their drill. Miss Annie bad
abarge of the Delsertean drill and club
swinging and was highly complimented
upon the proficiency to which she had
brought her pupils up to. Miss Craig.

soldiers and the little fellows appeared to
be quite proud of their proficiency. Miss
Mabel Bartley, pianist, discharged her
duties with precision and promptness
seldom excelled in Harriston. Al-
though still very young oho handled the
piano with a profeeeor's skill. The
orsheetra was simply grand and the boys
received heaps of applause and praise for
their great musical abilities. How so
many children aould bo so thoroughly
trained in w short a time was n surprise
to all present. The program was not got
through with until 11.30 o'clock, and
then the people were loath to go away.
Everybody was more than pleased.
